COMBINATION TABLE.

Application :filed December 11, 1924. Serial No. 755,306.

To all whom t may Concern.'

Be it known that I, DAL'roN K. VViLsoN, a citizen of the United States,residing at lVaterloo, in the county of Black Hawk and State of lfowa,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Tables,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in combination tables, and theobjects of my improvements are these, first, to provide for kitchen orother use a tabl-e having collapsible and sliding parts for employmentas auxiliary supporting means and attachments, and second, to supply incombination with the table an ironing board attachment constructed foradjustable attachment thereto.

These objects I have accomplished by the means which are hereinafterdescribed and claimed, and which are illustrated in the accompanying`drawings, in which, Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my improvedcombination table with parts extended, ready for use. Fig. 2 .is a topplan of the devices as shown in said Fig. 1, with parts broken away, andhaving the said ironing board mounted adjustably and detachably thereon.Fig. 3 is an end elevation, showing said ironing board, but showingparts collapsed or closed upon the table.

Minor changes or variations of construetion of said invention arenevertheless covered by the principle of the same.

The table has a solid top 3 supported on legs 1, with said topproject-ing beyond the legs on every side, but projecting farther at thesides than at the ends to supply knee room.

The front of the table is shown in said Fig. 1, having a top molding orpanel 2 containing an opening for a sliding drawer 4l at the right. Nearthe lower ends of the legs 1 in front another panel or crosspart is opento scat another sliding drawer, below a compartment having a pair ofdoors 5 swinging ou hinges 6. The rear and the ends of the table betweensaid legs have closure Valls as at 8, but the left-hand wall 8 is spacedat its top from the table top 3 to provide an opening 9.

A. n auxiliary table leaf 10 is hinged at 11 to the top 3 to sja/'ing'downwardly. A pair of fixed lugs 13 are mounted to depend from themiddle of the under side ofthe leaf 10. rlhe numeral 16 denotes aswinging prop whose lower endinay contact with a block 12 on theadjacent wall 8. This prop has a pair of upright parts 15 which arepivoted between the lugs 13 on pintles 1li, so that when the wardly, andagainst the under face of the leaf 10, the latter may be swungdownwzrdly to hang adjacent to the end of the ta le.

' As shown in Fig. 2, slideways 2l are fixed oppositely within the tablehorizontally and attached to the front and rear walls thereof toterminate at the leftat the lower part of said opening 9. Stop-bars 22ar-e fix-ed thereabove in spaced relation.

The numeral 24C denotes a removable tray or sliding shelf with raisedrim which slides in the interspaces of the fixed bars 21 and 22 in ando-ut of the opening 9, but in practice not entirely withdrawn from saidslideways. Upon this sliding shelf 2li may be removably mounted any kindof obj-eet, such as a small gas or electric heater 25, to slidetog-ether with the shelf into the interior of the table through theopening 9. A crossbar 23 may be Xed across the two bars 21 as a supportand a stop.

The numeral 19 denotes an auxiliary leaf having a pair of spacedprojections 2O whose terminations are pivoted on pintles 18 to the lowerends of fixed hangers 17 to swing downwardly. The interspace of theprojections 20 is large enough to clear and surround the projected `partof the sliding shelf 24 when the leaf is horizontal, and a pivotedbutton 36 on the leaf 19 may be turned over the adjacent rim of theshelf 24e to support the leaf in its raised position. Another auxiliaryleaf 27 has end projections 28 also pivoted on said pintles 18, the leafbeing of a length to lit within the interspace of thc projections 2O toswing downwardly. After the shelf 24 has been pushed entirely into thesli deways 21-22 within the interior of the table, and the released leaf19 swung downwardly as in Fig. 3, the leaf 27 may be swung upwardly toclose the said opening 9. The leaf 19 is suitable for the support ofutensils used in cooking.

In Figs. 2 and 3 l have shown an ironing board 29 supported across thetabletop 3 to llave its diminished part projecting forn prop 16 is swungrearwnrdly therefrom horizontnliy. T.Vhile the top 3 is squ( re. it muybe otherwise shaped, 'for the board QS) is supplied with clampingmembers arranged to' ndjustubly attaching it to the table de zieluibly.On the rear end oit' said board 29 is fixed :i hooked elemping member3() to elusp the rein' edge of the table top 8. A plate 32 is positionedagainst the middle of the under surface olii the board 29 und hns f1longitudinal slot 35 With anyv part ol: which u bolt hole in said boardmay register, a bolt 34 being;` passed through both and reieasablysecured by a Wing-nut 33. rl`he plete has its lett-hand part ol'ljsetdownwardly to provide :f1 clamping member 3l to eouet with the member 30in clamping' the table top udjustubly between them to thus secure theboard 2S) from accidental displeeements. The board 29 may be removedwhen not in use.

This combination table is contrived for use in small kitchens orapartments Where eompaetness is desired, :ind convenience foren'ipioyment in different ways as possible by the said means provided.

l-Tnving deseriliied my invention, n'hut l elziiin ns new, :ind desireto secure by Leiters Patent, is:

l. In :i device of the ehurueter hseribed7 a table containing :in openend slii'leiwy :i slide slidubly mounted in said slideu'ziy to beshifted in or out of seid open end7 u Us shaped lent havingits membershinged to suid table to inelose the projection of Quid slide whenlifted. and releasable menns 'for supportinpr seid leal upon said slidewhen both are extended.

2. 1n a device of the character described, :i table containing; :in openend slideu'uy, u slide slidably mounted in said slideuzty, a lent hingedto Said table und having au openingI to receive seid slide when. both:1re positioned iu extension from the table, und :1 closure hinged toseid table to swing through the opening of said leaf when retraeted undwhen the slide is shilted to elezir the opening, seid closure beinglthen adepted to close the open end of the slidewsy.
